Addiction Rehab

Addiction rehab is a loaded subject, not only for the addict or alcoholic, but for families and loved ones as well.

Call Narconon Arrowhead, the endless merry-go-round can be stopped.

When speaking of an inpatient drug treatment clinic we are usually referring to a medical facility geared towards or specializing in getting the addict or alcoholic weaned from the use of these substances. Alcohol and several of the prescription painkillers and mood altering drugs run a health risk if cessation occurs ‘cold turkey’. Severe Delirium Tremens for alcohol abuse as well as several of the side effects from prescription dependence can be life threatening if not medically supervised. These ‘medical detox’ facilities can and do serve a vital role in the rehabilitation process. Many of these get the individual to the point were they can cease use of the drug or alcohol safely. This is by no means a full detoxification of the human body. Inpatient drug treatment clinic services need followed up with a program such as the New Life Detoxification Program at Narconon Arrowhead to fully handle the drug and toxins lodged in the fatty tissues of the body.

Effective drug or alcohol rehab starts with really understanding exactly what rehabilitation is. Rehabilitate in its broad sense means to restore to a previous condition. Any rehab to be effective needs to address the three factors which lead up to and cause addiction to continue. These are mental and physical cravings, quilt, and depression. Drug and alcohol abuse stems from mental or physical pain an individual does not wish to confront or deal with. The drugs or alcohol only appear to alleviate these conditions and after a time contribute to them as well as creating new sources in and endless cycle and trap known as addiction. Confronting and effectively handling the conditions brought about by cravings, quilt, and depression allows the addicted individual to truly ‘rehab’ him or herself and so be restored to a previous condition or at least as close as possible. Narconon Arrowhead is much more than a detox center where the individual simply quits using for a period. Narconon Arrowhead drug rehab methodologies fully handle the above factors allowing one to truly rehabilitate a previous condition and so remove the need for further drug or alcohol use as a false solution to living the life they want.

The correct choice of drug and alcohol treatment is a life altering and (more often than not) a life saving choice. Here are some of our suggestions at Narconon Arrowhead for what to look for in drug and alcohol treatment regardless of whether you choose Narconon Arrowhead or not. First, find a program that is drug free including withdrawal (except when medically needed). Handling addiction with more drugs just doesn’t make good sense. Second find a program that offers full detoxification in addition to withdrawal only. Stored drugs and toxins can account for cravings and relapse months or even years after last use. Third in our list of most important drug and alcohol treatment needs is a treatment that fully addresses guilt and depression which almost always accompany drug or alcohol addiction, and in fact can be major factors that led up to the drug or alcohol abuse to begin with. These are of course not a complete list, but are starting points when exploring various treatment options.

What goes into creating the best drug rehab possible? In putting together the Narconon Arrowhead program with success rates far and above the current norms we have isolated what we consider some key components. First is a full handling of cravings, guilt, and depression which are the three blocks to any addiction recovery and statistics show that without these three handled the individual has a much greater risk of relapse. Narconon technology handles each of these. Also important is a long term residential treatment facility where the individual is able to attack each of these points to a full resolution as opposed to have a couple of weeks or 28 days of clean time. A drug free environment is also essential. Substituting one drug or substance in hopes of handling another drug or substance makes no sense and is an endless downward spiral leading to more addiction. A drug free productive life should be the goal of anyone claiming to be the best drug rehab, not simply changing drugs.
